[ale] Downlading Torrents In Fedora

[Omar Chanouha]

Dual boot.

I don't think I am getting a tracker error, how would I know?
Generally there is some error in red with transmission, like "register
first", but i am not getting that. It just says it is in the stalled
state.

Out of curiosity how why would UPnP affect anything?

How would I forward a port in fedora?

Thanks,

Omar
